New films coming to Columbia theaters this weekend. See daily ads for additional films and showtimes.

"THE WATCH" (R) Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill are among a motley crew of suburbanites who sign up for neighborhood watch duty only to encounter an evil force that's definitely not from the neighborhood — or even this planet. Directed by Akiva Schaffer (The Lonely Island, "Saturday Night Live" digital shorts). Hollywood, Forum

"STEP UP REVOLUTION" (PG-13, 97 MINUTES) The fourth episode in this series of wildly popular dance films centers on a young woman who must figure out how to balance a love interest, tricky family loyalties, her dreams of dance stardom and the aspirations of an entire community. Also showing in 3-D. Hollywood, Forum

"THE INTOUCHABLES" (R, 112 MINUTES) In what promises to be a touching take on the odd-couple trope, a conceited millionaire paralyzed in an accident hires a Sengalese ex-convict to act as his caretaker. Upon being released in France, "The Intouchables" became the second-most successful film, in terms of numbers of viewers, in the country's history. In French with English subtitles. Ragtag
